Steps

1. 1

   In a small soup pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, white parts of the scallions, and bell pepper. Sauté them until they become softened and golden, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Combine the coconut milk, rice milk, corn kernels, curry powder, and the sliced green scallions in a pot. If you opt for curry paste, mix it with a little water to form a smooth mixture before incorporating it into the soup.

3. 3

   Start by bringing the mixture to a vigorous simmer, then reduce the heat. Cover the pot and let it gently simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt to taste, then take it off the heat.
